In a previous post I made a passing reference to my previous life as a competitive Spikeball player. Here's a picture of me placing 3rd at 2015 Spikeball Nationals (I'm the short one with the eagle shirt). For those of you that don't know what Spikeball is, this will give you a little taste of the fun that it can be.
As I'm now old and married, I no longer play Spikeball very competitively other than a tournament here and there when it's convenient, but I still have a lot of friends and connections to the Spikeball community. My younger brother PJ (and former teammate) has quickly surpassed my Spikeball career with his team cisek_showalter winning 2017 Spikeball Nationals and him being voted a consensus top 2 Spikeball player in the world according to the 2017 player rankings.
Anyways, that's probably more information about Spikeball than you were hoping to read today, but just wanted to give a little context for my pictures! Cisek_showalter (my brother's team) have several sponsors for the upcoming Spikeball season, one of which is the activewear company Rhoback, so my brother asked me to take a few promo pictures of them in their Rhoback polos.
It was freezing cold outside, so we didn't have as much time as I would have liked, but here are a few of my favorite pictures from the shoot.

"Ball"
"Tyler"
"PJ"
"Cute"
"Action Shot Pt. II"
That wide shot of PeeJ is awesome. So crazy he's like..actually flat-out amazing at Spikeball. I remember playing with him when he just started and I was better than him. I mean, I'm still better than he is but I'm just more humble and decide to sit it out on the sidelines.

I can't believe Tyler is diving around in shorts! Crazy kids!
I didn't realise Spikeball was a competitive sport... I've seen people play it in parks... but nothing like the video you linked to, it looks like crazy fun. I've never seen it in Australia... so if you want to be the best player in the country.....?
